After listening to Dr. Chris Wolfe’s discussion on the dangers of becoming a specialist at the expense of comprehensive care, Aaron explores a different challenge facing optometry: the reluctance to embrace sales. Drawing on Daniel Pink’s To Sell Is Human, he argues that ethical selling is simply helping patients trade time, money, effort, and trust for a better outcome. Through real-world examples, from contact lenses and IPL to restaurant servers and his own dentist, he explains why conviction, communication, and trust often matter more than clinical knowledge alone, and why becoming a better communicator may be one of the most valuable skills any healthcare professional can develop.

Aaron shares a personal reflection on preparing for the San Diego Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon with his son, Skyler, only to be sidelined by illness days before the race. What began as disappointment became an opportunity to celebrate someone else’s achievement and appreciate the journey that led there. Drawing parallels between marathon training and practice ownership, Aaron explores resilience, perspective, focusing on what you can control, and using setbacks as opportunities to evaluate and strengthen the systems that drive long-term success. This episode is a reflection on leadership, growth, gratitude, and keeping your eyes on the next finish line.
